Imagine today is your College graduation, you’ve struggled, emotionally, and academically to get to this point. You’ve always wished mom could be there to see it happen but she passed away during your High School senior year. You walk up to the podium as they call your name and your mother appears before you just like you remember, she tells you she loves you and that she is very proud of you, then she hands you your diploma, which you take from her and she proceeds to give you a hug that feels electric, warm and firm.

And then you’re done. Follow along with a tutorial video tutorial. Easy right! And now Samsung just patented for a smartphone screen that’s capable of displaying objects in mid-air, in 3D. Is that right? Yes it is. Samsungs (jobs at Samsung) next phone the Galaxy S7 may be holographic, the patent was filed back in the second half of…
